Implementing Educational Language Policy in Arizona: Legal,
Historical, and Current Practices in SEI, edited by Chris
Faltis and M. Beatriz Arias, brings together scholars,
researchers, and educators to present a critical examination of
Arizona’s restrictive language policies as they influence teacher
preparation and practice. The Structured English Immersion model
prescribes the segregation of English learners for four hours a
day from English speakers and academic content for a minimum of
one year.
In an interview with Pauline Bartoloni, Professor Peter Mundy and
Educational Psychologist Mary Gwaltney discuss their research
using virtual reality to better understand how students with
autism process competing information in the classroom.
Mundy says, “We really have to know how those children are
developing, what impedes and what facilitates their development
in school. There’s a need to provide information that advances
the ability of teachers and schools to provide the right
education for [autistic] children.”

The School of Education has set an ambitious goal of $16 million
in The Campaign for UC Davis. We have made significant progress
toward our goal—as of May 10, 2012, surpassing $9.8 million in
philanthropic support—thanks to many of you.
In fact, alumni and friends of the School have generously donated
more than 18 percent of this total—nearly $1.9 million since The
Campaign began in 2006.
